Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the evening of the 18th that the “Trinity” nuclear forces are still the guarantee of Russia's national sovereignty and play a key role in maintaining the global balance of power. Putin presided over a meeting of the Russian Military Industry Council that night. He proposed discussing a new draft national weapons and equipment plan and a defense industry complex development plan. Putin said that developing a “trinity” nuclear force is the priority direction of the updated national weapons and equipment plan. The above plan will lay the foundation for Russian modern weapons and equipment research and large-scale production, “so that the Russian military and other powerful institutions can respond quickly and effectively to potential external threats.” He also said that Russia will pay special attention to the development of “multi-purpose unmanned robot systems” and high-precision weapons, and improve air defense systems to ensure the destruction of any attack from air or space. Putin believes that the external threats facing Russia have not abated. NATO is already expanding to other parts of the world. Some European leaders have publicly stated that they are preparing for war with Russia. At the same time, he stressed that Russia has no aggressive intentions against European countries, and Russia is willing to cooperate and restore relations with European countries.
